Emma Watson and William "Mack" Knight: A Romance Cut Short
A famous actress and a tech entrepreneur might seem like an unlikely pairing, but for nearly two years, 'Harry Potter' star Emma Watson and William "Mack" Knight made it work. However, as Page Six reported, the couple "amicably went [their] separate ways in early 2017."
"I Can't Talk About My Boyfriend"
Maintaining her characteristic privacy, Watson, then 27, kept the details of her relationship with the Princeton graduate under wraps. Her stance on privacy was put simply in a Vanity Fair interview: "You can't have it both ways." As an actress with an international profile and a busy filming schedule, Watson chose not to discuss her personal life in public, aiming to avoid the inevitable paparazzi attention that would follow.
A Tech Entrepreneur and an Actress
Knight, a senior manager at Medallia, a tech company based in Palo Alto, California, was first seen with Watson in October 2015 at a Broadway musical "Hamilton". However, with Watson having residences in London and Paris, and Knight residing in California, it's unclear how often the two were able to meet.
While Watson's representative chose not to comment on the matter, fans of the actress continue to respect her request for privacy. Despite the end of her relationship with Knight, it seems that Watson remains focused on her successful acting career while staying true to her values, proving once again that even in the Hollywood spotlight, "you can't have it both ways."
